289 Qin Ying was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Boss, I don't need Wu Zhong to help me. I will definitely do this beautifully for you."
"Nonsense! Qin Ying, I don't know who you are. Let me tell you, Wu Zhong is an old man in our fishing gang, especially his father-in-law, Bai Wenjing, who was once one of the eight doctors in the inner hall. Mr. Bai, you must respect him."
"Also, in this conflict with the Fishermen's Gang, you must ensure Wu Zhong's safety. Otherwise, you will be held accountable!"
Qin Ying was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly laughed as if he thought of something, "Oh, I understand, Gang Leader, don't worry, I will definitely ensure that Wu Zhong completes the mission safely, and I won't let Mr. Bai send his son away. But Gang Leader, the sword has no eyes, if I get excited, or if there are masters in the Cao Gang, I won't be able to take care of it, and if Wu Zhong gets into trouble then."
"You can't blame me. At most, I'll send you two more wreaths, okay?"
After hearing this, Nan Batian frowned and said, "Hey, if something really happens, there's nothing we can do about it. By the way, Jiu Si, you and Doctor Bai are a master and apprentice. If something happens, please help persuade him and don't let him get upset."
Chen Jie remained expressionless after hearing this, but he knew in his heart that Nan Batian was using Wu Zhong to force him to take on this task.
If he didn't answer the call, he would let Qin Ying answer it and bring Uncle Zhong with him, which would be a good thing for Uncle Zhong.
Chen Jie thought, frowning, what on earth did Nan Batian want to do? Why did he force him to take on this mission?
He definitely has no good intentions, but this kind of thing cannot affect Uncle Zhong's family.
There was no other way. Uncle Zhong was also a member of the Fishing Gang, and he had to accept the orders from the gang leader. Otherwise, he would be considered disloyal, which was a serious crime.
Chen Jie thought for a moment and looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, I'm familiar with the ferry crossing at Xiantao Village. How about I go there?"
"Ah, Jiusi, it would be great if you could go. You wouldn't have to trouble Wu Zhong, and Doctor Bai wouldn't have to worry. It would be a great deed!"
Nan Batian had a smile on his face.
Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian and saw ill intentions in his smile. Then Chen Jie looked at Tang Ziyue who was standing beside him, and saw that Tang Ziyue was also smiling and nodding at him.
Chen Jie frowned, feeling that the two must be planning something.
Nan Batian said: "Okay, if that's the case, then it's settled. Let Jiu Si and Zi Yue do this together at the yin hour tomorrow morning."
Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian, who smiled and said, "Jiu Si, a hero needs three helpers. I also know that you are very capable, but Zi Yue is also capable. Let him help you complete this task, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Tang Ziyue clasped his fists towards Chen Jie and said, "Master Chen, you won't think I'm a burden, will you?"
Chen Jie looked at Tang Ziyue and said, "How dare I? Mr. Tang is the leader's number one think tank."
Tang Ziyue said: "You have only studied for a few years, how can you be called a think tank?"
The two looked at each other, and then Nan Batian smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, I will host a banquet tonight, and you can have a drink here."
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, there's something important going on tonight, I'm afraid I need to prepare for it."
Nan Batian frowned slightly, and Qin Ying said, "Chen Jiusi, you knew something important was going to happen tonight, but you still wanted to leave. You are not going to find Old Monster Liu to tip him off, are you? This behavior of yours is a betrayal, and you will be killed!"
Chen Jie frowned and said, "I betrayed the gang, Qin Ying, do you have any evidence?"
"If you don't want to rebel, why would I help you go home? It's right here. Everyone has seen the evidence clearly. Who can be suspicious?"
Chen Jie frowned and looked at Nan Batian. Nan Batian smiled and said, "Tang Master Qin is right. Jiu Si, I'll have to inconvenience you, then?"
Chen Jie's brows were furrowed even more. At this time, Nan Batian said, "Don't worry, you won't be bored tonight. I heard that Jiu Si likes to play Go, and Mr. Tang is also a master of this game. You two may want to compete with each other."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Boss, we've been chatting for a long time. I'm hungry."
"Then eat first."
Nan Batian smiled and said, "Qin Ying, Mr. Liu, you stay with me."
Chen Jie said: "My brother outside the sect?"
"Good wine and delicious food are waiting for you, don't worry."
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll spend the money."
Chen Jie knew that the other party had already trapped him, but he didn't think he would surrender so easily. The most important thing now was to figure out what the other party wanted to do.
Chen Jie was still guessing, but the banquet had already started.
The banquet was quite sumptuous, and Nan Batian was not stingy with it. Qin Ying accompanied him, and Liu Yishou watched from the side.
Chen Jie invited Xiaohu to sit down and eat. Opposite Qin Ying were Qin Hu and Qin Bao. They were eating at the same table, each with their own thoughts.
At this time in the study, Nan Batian said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Tang, the trap has been set. Now we just have to wait for Chen Jiusi to get in. This is all thanks to you, Mr. Tang!"
Tang Ziyue laughed and said, "Thank you for your praise, Gang Master. This is all due to your foresight. I am just adding icing on the cake."
Nan Batian laughed and said, "This Chen Jiusi would never know in his dreams that the one escorting this batch of goods today is Liu Song, the beloved son of Liu Laoguai. What he doesn't know is that we have planted an insider next to Liu Song. When Chen Jiusi arrives, with the help of the insider, the two sides will fight."
"When the time comes, haha, the insider will stab Liu Song from behind and kill Old Monster Liu's precious son. Then Old Monster Liu will surely go crazy."
"Chen Jiusi is the mastermind of this incident, and he is also the leader of the team. Old Monster Liu will never let him go. By then, hahahaha... Chen Jiusi will become Old Monster Liu's enemy who killed his son. With Old Monster Liu's character, he will definitely fight Chen Jiusi to the death. By then, both sides will suffer losses, and we can reap the benefits."
"Mr. Tang, I have to say that your plan is really clever!"
Tang Ziyue said: "Boss, you are too kind. If this plan can work, it is also thanks to you. The key to this plan is how to plant a traitor next to Liu Song. You must know that he is the son of Old Monster Liu, and everyone around him has been carefully selected by Old Monster Liu. If you can plant someone next to Liu Song, you must have someone in the Cao Gang."
Nan Batian laughed and said, "Haha, in this world, there are always people who are willing to sell out their brothers and benefactors for profit. It's not surprising."
Tang Ziyue agreed with him. Nan Batian said, "Okay, now the net has been spread, just waiting for Chen Jiusi to jump down! Mr. Tang, do you think Chen Jiusi can break the situation?"
"It's impossible. This plan is so meticulous that no one can see through it in such a short time, unless he has a way to obtain intelligence in advance! Otherwise, this plan has no solution!"
Tang Ziyue opened the fan and said confidently.
Chapter 155 Chen Jiusi: Nan Batian, is your game difficult to break?
Outside, Chen Jie, Xiaohu, and the Qin brothers were eating.
Also sitting on the sidelines was the number one doctor in the fishing gang, the genius doctor Liu Yishou. At this time, something strange was happening at the table.
While Chen Jie was eating, Xiaohu was taking a leg of lamb and gnawing on it in big bites. Qin Bao opposite him was also holding a leg of lamb. As if they were competing with each other, the two of them were eating the legs of lamb as if they were in a competition.
Neither of them would admit defeat.
Chen Jie's eating manners were quite elegant. He picked up a piece of vegetable and put it on the plate, then turned around and chatted with the genius doctor Liu Yishou about medical principles.
"Uncle Liu."
Chen Jie was very respectful to Liu Yishou and used the word "Uncle". This was nothing, because Doctor Bai was Chen Jie's master, and Liu Yishou was the head of the eight doctors in the inner hall. Bai Wenjing was also the eighth doctor in the inner hall, so the relationship between the two was quite good.
"Uncle Liu, you just said that insufficient Qi and blood, and excessive internal fire in the heart, can cause fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, and weakness. So how should we regulate and use medicine?"
Liu Yishou said, "No need to take medicine. Bai Wenjing has never told you that medicine is three-quarters toxic. Can you not take medicine if you can? In this case, as long as you press the Mingmen point, Taiyuan point, and Sanyinjiao point frequently, you can regulate it. It will be cured in a month at the shortest and three months at the slowest."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "I have benefited greatly from listening to your words, my dear uncle."
"My master said that you are the best at taking pulses. No matter what kind of difficult or complicated disease it is, you can tell with just one feel. That's why people in the martial arts world call you an accurate pulse taker."
Liu Yishou laughed when he heard this and said, "Haha, these are just some little tricks. Your master is a master of pharmacology. When he was around, his theory was the best. It's a pity that your master left because of some mean people's words. Otherwise, he would be the best doctor in Mianshui."
"Uncle, you are too polite. I have many doubts about the art of pulse diagnosis. I wonder if you could help me explain it a little bit."
Liu Yishou looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Do you want to hear it?"
"Of course I want to listen to your teachings, uncle."
Liu Yishou smiled and said, "Okay, there aren't many people who are as eager to learn as you are. So I'll tell you something real. I'll tell you why I can take pulses accurately. It's because I understand the root of pulse taking. The Cun, Guan, and Chi points on both hands correspond to the changes of the five elements of the Zhoutian..."
Chen Jie and Liu Yishou were chatting about medical skills as if no one was around. Qin Ying and the others frowned and didn't understand what was going on. Xiaohu was gnawing on a leg of lamb.
At this time, not far away, Nan Batian was looking at this side with his hands behind his back, and standing next to him was Bai Zhishan of the Fishing Gang, Tang Ziyue.
Nan Batian looked at Chen Jie, who was in the fishing gang without knowing it, and said, "This Chen Jiusi is really carefree. At this moment, he still has time to discuss medical skills with Liu Yishou."
Tang Ziyue said: "Haha... With great skills, one is bold. With his current strength, there are not many people in this Mian River that can threaten him. If you count carefully, apart from the one mentioned above, only you and Old Monster Liu can threaten him."
Nan Batian said: "If we fail to reach the top, we must not be careless. Moreover, even if we reach the top, there is still a world beyond the Mian River."
Tang Ziyue laughed and said, "The gang leader really has the ambition to take over the world. I admire you."
Nan Batian said: "Haha, what ambition do you have to swallow the world? Now you want to deal with this little Chen Jiusi, and you have to set up a vicious plan. Alas, it's not enough, it's far from enough."
After hearing this, Tang Ziyue said, "Boss, it's almost time. I'll go talk to Chen Jiusi, so that we don't take too long and make him suspicious!"
After hearing this, Nan Batian nodded slightly and said, "Well, go ahead."
Tang Ziyue smiled, stood up and took out a chessboard from the table beside him. On it were two chess boxes with black and white pieces.
Then he walked towards Chen Jie with a smile.
At this time, Chen Jie was thinking about what kind of strategy Nan Batian had set for him. At the same time, he was also calculating the time. It should be soon before his intelligence update at midnight.
Chen Jie was thinking, at this moment, Tang Ziyue came to Chen Jie, and Chen Jie looked up and met his eyes.
"Master Chen, are you willing to play two games of chess with me?"
Tang Ziyue waved the chessboard next to Chen Jie, and Chen Jie smiled and said, "Okay, there's nothing to worry about."
The two of them smiled and came to a pavilion outside, set up the chessboard, and Tang Ziyue said, "Please."
Chen Jie sat down.
Tang Ziyue looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Master Chen, do you like black pieces or white pieces?"
Chen Jie said: "Heizi."
"Oh, I thought that young Master Chen should like Bai Zi. After all, Bai Zi is as white as jade, flawless, and a true hero, dressed in fine clothes, riding a horse, and chivalrous in the martial arts world."
"hehe..."
Chen Jie couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Mr. Tang, you must be joking. None of our gang members have clean hands. There is no such thing as a young man in fancy clothes and riding a horse. He is just a poor man wandering around in the underworld."
"Mr. Tang, I will play black first!"
Chen Jie shook the black piece in his hand, and Tang Ziyue frowned slightly.
But he didn't say anything. His first attempt on Chen Jie failed. Chen Jie didn't seem like an 18-year-old boy. His thinking and the way he acted were more like a middle-aged man who had seen the vicissitudes of life and the intrigues of life.
He did not have the high spirits and innocence that a young man should have, not even a trace of nostalgia.
This person is too precocious!
While he was thinking, Chen Jie had already signaled him to play black first. Tang Ziyue suddenly felt pressured. This seemed like a chess game, but in fact Tang Ziyue was using it as a tool to explore Chen Jie's character. He wanted to see what Chen Jie's character was like through this chess game.
Go has 19 horizontal and vertical lines, forming 361 squares, which correspond exactly to the 361 stars in the sky.
It also secretly conforms to the principles of the Book of Changes. Therefore, each person's thinking, methods, and patterns in playing chess reflect a person's character. It is said that watching chess is like watching a person.
For example, some people are keen on fighting for the edges and corners of Go, which reflects that this person has a narrow mind, cares too much about gains and losses, and is not someone who can accomplish great things!
